contractions hurt for like 45 secs, but my tummy is hard for long than that...how do I time how long they are lasting??

I believe you time from the moment you feel your stomach tighten up, painful or not, to when you feel your tummy go soft...

Found this on a website...

To determine how far apart the contractions are you begin timing at the start of a contraction, and end timing at the beginning of the next contraction.

To determine how long a contraction is, you begin timing at the beginning of a contraction, and end at the end of the same contraction.

Here's the website link so you can check out their example...
